Sprays work but you wouldnt want to spray buds. I know spiders like daddy long legs will help and I think ladybugs also. They make that sticky tape for bugs but it doesnt work the greatest, might be worth a try though. You can try letting the soil dry out as much as possible or removing the top inch of soil, some bugs lay eggs in there but Im not too sure about spider mites. If your indoors you can put a bowl of water in the space with some dishsoap in there, it wont do alot but will trap any that fly in it. Id for sure kill any you see and be sure to check under leaves for anything white and remove that shit. Good luck!

you could carefully spray the plant avoiding the buds and hang some no pest strips. that should put a good dent in dem bastards!

1 pak of ciggs boiled in water to kill the tobacco pathogens and it makes a strong tea ...add 1 drop dish soap, this mix should look like coca-cola.

spray on the stems, and both sides of the leaves trying to avoid the buds.
time consuming but ....soak a paper towell in the solution and wipe the undersides of the leaves especially lower leaves where the mites were found, to remove the eggs laid on the bottom sides of leaves

this is a kill on contact and you can rinse with clean water afterwards, repeat again every 72 hrs till you have them under controll

raise the humidity pour water on the floors IF you can

these buggers build a resistance FAST to the insecticides , so get a bottle of neem oil (this can be used up to 2 weeks prior to harvest) but neem is an oily toxin so last resort ok

No pest strips are the bomb. 1 per 900 cu ft. the will be dead in a week with no reaccurance. Happy hunting. The only good mite is a dead mite
